1. Speed Below are a series of pictures taken
over 3-4 minutes that shows the speed at which a
1 tone bag can be discharged into a bitumen tank.
This tank was filled as fast as the container was
emptied - in just under 1.5 hours. 2.
Convenience Handling 1 x 1000kg bag of bitumen in
less time than it takes to handle 1 drum. 3. No
Wastage Unlike drums 100 pf the bitumen is
recovered 4. Handling The handling is much
easier, less time consuming and not nearly as
messy as drums. You also do not the hassle of
drum disposal.   5. Reduced Freight Storage

freight costs per tone and compared to bulk

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT BITUMEN ADDITIVES
PRODUCTS ?Bitumen (which is sometimes called
Asphalt) should not be confused with what is
known as 'tar'. Tar is a derivative of the coal
manufacturing product - it is also black and
sticky and has in the past been used in road
construction but contains a lot more 'nasties'.
Bitumen however is essentially the bottom phase
of the crude oil distillation process. Very
simply you start with the light fractions such as
natural gas, kerosene, diesel and then you go
down into your different weighted oils (light to
heavy) and you eventually hit bitumen right down
the bottom. This used to be a waste product, now
it is a widely sort after commodity item that is
a vital part of the world wide roading
network.   Within the bitumen product class there
are a range of products. They generally range
from very hard to soft bitumen's that are
manufactured for different purposes. Very hard
bitumens are used as waterproofing products on
roofs and specialty asphalt mixes while softer
grade as used in very cold climates are used in
road construction. Polymers can also be added to
bitumen to create a variety of different
products. Here at Highway 1 we produce and supply
various polymer modified bitumen products.
